    Even though every year we say testing doesn't matter etc etc etc, still can't wait for it to start.

    Fancy some testing Bingo?

    Who will break down first?
    Who will become beached in the gravel first?
    Which car will be carrying the most sandbags?
    Who's running on fumes ;)

    Publicity, maybe the anticipation of fans works out for them in a way.

    Here's my bets.

    Who will break down first? Mercedes
    Who will become beached in the gravel first? Van Der Garde or Super Maldonado
    Which car will be carrying the most sandbags? Red Bull
    Who's running on fumes? Mercedes

    Just so you all know Mercedes were usually top of the testing times the previous seasons, so don't do what the media does and hype the **** out of it if Rosberg or Hamilton do the top time because it will most likely jinx it...
